Defensive use of guns.

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

This is a flagrant lie. The CDC never made any such claim. I've asked 2aguy time and again to provide a link to the actual text from the CDC, and he has failed to do so on every occasion.

The CDC removed it. I have also seen the estimates at 2.1 million times per year.

It was here:

Fast Facts: Firearm Violence and Injury Prevention |Violence Prevention|Injury Center|CDC

What is a firearm injury? Learn fast facts of firearm violence from the CDC Injury Center.

www.cdc.gov

but apparently, the cite has been "updated" (scrubbed).

This Forbes article discusses it:

That Time The CDC Asked About Defensive Gun Uses

Why did the CDC fail to publish 1990s research on numbers of defensive gun uses?

Pointless, irrelevant thread.
They ARE taking away your guns. Denial is irrelevant. Makes no difference what you think or say.

If you were never gonna use them (and you are not), there was never any need for the 2A anyway.

We are nowhere near "critical mass" on gun rights. Every state is moving in the right direction.

Correct. Its hard to see how Demcorats will manage to repeqal the 2nd when 25 states have permitless carry laws.

 

[2aguy]

Those who sells forks and spoons enable obesity...

And heart disease, the actual leading killer of Americans.....we should sue farmers, ranchers, anyone who makes fast food.....and ban fast food to boot..

That's why the left specializes in mass graves........

Refined sugar manufacturers and grain farmers. PERIOD.

 

[Canon Shooter]

Refined sugar manufacturers and grain farmers. PERIOD.

Why?

If someone makes refined sugar, and you make the decision to use it, the sole responsibility for that decision is yours, and yours alone...

Following the original thread logic

 

[Man of Ethics]

Those who sell alcohol enable alcoholism and drunk driving

Alcohol is legal but somewhat very harmful -- like drugs.

 

[Man of Ethics]

why are you mad at the tool??

The same can be said about opioids.

 

[Man of Ethics]

More people die in automobile accidents than by shootings. Are we to ban automobiles?

Automobiles are indispensable part of modern life.

 

[progressive hunter]

I know ,, I just said that,,

why are you attacking the tool instead of the person??

 

[progressive hunter]

Automobiles are indispensable part of modern life.

no they arent,,

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Automobiles are indispensable part of modern life.

So are firearms.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Why?

If someone makes refined sugar, and you make the decision to use it, the sole responsibility for that decision is yours, and yours alone...

If they hide and deliberately discredit research about its harmful effects, and deceitfully blame it on dietary fat, they are culpable.

Everybody knows or should know what a firearm does.

I can't wait for you to show up here. 95 percent of the town would fight you.

So are guns....

Ah. Your ethics are situational.
What a surprise.

Of course it has.....

This Forbes article discusses it:

It discusses Kleck's thoughts/theories, and why and how they were disputed/debunked. There is no mention of any CDC figure of 1.2 million DGUs annually that 2aguy keeps plugging. The CDC never stated such a figure. 2aguy is lying every time he posts it.
